Have you ever dreamed of writing a novel, short story, memoir or poetry collection? Perhaps you've had an idea for years but never known where to start. Maybe you've started writing but lost confidence, or you simply want to improve your skills and write alongside like-minded people. If that sounds familiar, I'd love to welcome you to my next Creative Writing Course, which begins on Wednesday 2 September 2026 at Inchgarth Community Centre's new building in Aberdeen.

When Peter first joined my Creative Writing course, he brought with him something incredibly valuable – a lifetime of memories, experiences, observations, and a collection of poems he had quietly written over many decades. Like many aspiring writers, he wasn't sure how to turn those words into a professionally published book.
